Thanks @all :)
Yes, the jeans pants are really nice and i'm glad how good they fit.
HD was a little bit sorry about putting them off of me, so he did it slowly :whistle:

Hi HD.

I've just had 'that look' from Hanna.
I said "What?"
She said "You haven't seen Lena's latest pictures have you?"
I said "Oh no, are there some new ones then?"
She said "tut, go and have a look"

So here I am, and glad I came too. Nearly missed these lovely shots of Lena's legs new shorts.

Very nice legs shots HD, and Lena's looking rather lovely. :D

Here is a follow-up photo-shoot of Lena from today.
She really wanted to do that pose on my bed with that outfit.

Explanation: no photo-lights. Just daylight. But it's a cloudy day. So in principle, this isn't enough light.
But i didn't want to come up with photo-lights, because i wanted her to look natural.
Camera settings were at a specific preset called 'dusk'. In addition i raised the white balance to 1.0

This is the shot how it came directly out of the camera. I only resized it in GIMP.
The photo was shot at 18M and i downscaled it to 1440x1080.

I haven't been satisfied with the color temp. Too blueish.
So i changed the color temperature in GIMP to this setting:
gimp_colortemp.jpg
gimp_colortemp.jpg (45.53 KiB) Viewed 1778 times
Here is how it looked then:

Finally there were still missing a little bit contrast.
So i adjusted it also to my liking:

Finally i'm satisfied and the photo looks close to what i did see in front of the camera :)

I especially like the label on those shorts! I'm sure Lena does too!

It is hard to get lighting right, that's for sure, and I try all sorts of different lamps I have to get the more natural look without doing any alterations afterwards! Every time I try to do 'alterations' it seems the image looses its crispness in the copy so I've given up that for a while!

Cheers, Hollows.

I love these pictures of Lena in her denim shorty shorts.
Very sexy.
Daria has a pair and even though it takes her a long time to wiggle into them, the result is always worth it.

Thanks for the info on the Gimp settings. I need to look into it further.
I have played with the Gimp auto white balance selection.
Sometimes it vastly improves the picture, and sometimes it makes it worse.
I always give it a try and see if it helps. If it doesn't, I just undo it.

I'm not sure if its just my camera, but every picture I take is improved by adjusting the Gimp brightness and contrast to 15.
That's a good starting point, and then I tweak it from there.

Keep up the great work with Lena. I always enjoy her pictures.

Thanks,
scooter

Dear Hans and Lena,

I'm terribly sorry I haven't visited your thread before! Somehow I have missed it over the last several months. What a shame too, because I have truly enjoyed going through it just now. I should tell you how I got here, because I enjoyed Lena's portrait in the photo challenge for August quite a lot, and decided to go looking for her in the forum to see if I could find more photos. Fortunately I did, and here we are!

You certainly received one of my votes for this beautiful portrait:

Image

I know a special doll when I see one. The French call it "je ne sais quoi"; a certain unique quality that is difficult to describe. There are a good handful of dolls I've seen here at TDF that have it, and Lena is one of them. She would be easy to spot even in a room full of dolls with the same body and face combination.

Hans, you've done a wonderful job of breathing life into Lena, and I hope you remain inspired for months to come. Cheers and best wishes to you both! - LDV

Thanks all for the very nice comments. HD said this has kind of rescued him from thinking and doing something stupid!
Well, whatever that was, he seems to have recovered already a bit. So he wanted to take a photo of Klara and me.
I will help her to put on the new dresses that HD has bought for her.
Well, he said there were Barbie sales. so he thought Klara could try a few of them.
If you ask me, that's a good idea. Although some of the clothes are not stretchy or the proportions don't fit.
Even if Klara has not a big bust size like me :)

We'll see how it turns out.

Hugs,
Lena

Ha Ha! It looks like you've been rehearsing for the morning routine GIF challenge there Lens!

I hope at least some of the clothes fit! However, they can be cut and either use fabric glue or Velcro to attach them again!

Cheers, Hollows.

Hi Hollows. Quite funny!
However, Lena has no more plans to taking part at a challenge anymore.
Yes that sounds hard. But she has decided.

All the clothes don't fit, except two. The green and the pink "flower power" dresses are fine!
